Rebooting the computer is an essential first step in troubleshooting sluggish performance. This action can clear temporary files, reset processes that may be using excessive resources, and resolve any minor memory leaks or software glitches that could be causing the slowdown.
Other options, such as reinstalling applications or adding resources, may be necessary later depending on the results following the reboot. However, they are more involved steps and not the first course of action to identify the problem.
